flags

I'm increasingly jealous of Sam, who has travelled through Mongolia and China since I last updated you on his travels. This latest can't help but intrigue:

"We trekked and rode tiny protesting Mongolian horses across the plains, and on the second day rode for 4 hours through the most incredible freak rain storm. The rain continued through the night, turning our cozy Yurt into a sauna, as the cental wooded stove heated the tent to boiling temperature, and dried our sodden clothes strung from the decorated roof supports."

Dan, meanwhile, has flags on his mind, as ever.
